Guild Wars 2

Hi,

First of all: Great Changes.

But i miss the minor in Inventions: Automated Medical Response. This is essential for an extra water field in fights :/ I hope it is there, hiding in a new trait :’(

I will miss it so much. the backbone of all my builds. a true friend and a true hero.

I really hope its not gone, its basically a must have trait in any build I run.

Also extra condi removal and bast finisher.

Well it looks like it is here to stay… Just as an alchemy grand master trait… Think that’s it anyway.

The whole Invention line is F-ed up. Seriously, what are they thinking? I hope they find a way to keep Stabilized Armor, Power Shoes, and Automated Medical Response.

yep i´m also disappointed, if they delete Protective Shield, Automated Medical Response and Powershoes.. Seems that i have to change to the boring meta gang :/. I like actually how this traitline works with mightstacks for the dmg compensation but after expansion its gone maybe.

There is an Automated Response (probably AMR) as a Grandmaster trait in Alchemy.

With AMR placed in Alchemy, you can also take advantage of Self-Regulating Defenses and Projection Injection (or Invigorating Speed) all in one traitline. Streamlined defense.

Edit: Nevermind that, misread AR as AMR.

They should just make AMR as the TBD Grandmaster trait in Alchemy or merge it with Automated Response.

Automated Response is an exiting trait that lowers condition duration at low hp. it’s other the same trait. also self regulating defenses has been moved up and now competes with backpack rgn. what a shame.

That’s right. The name was very similar, so I interpreted it as AMR when it is not.

Self Regulating Defenses competing with Backpack Regenerator does limit the engineer.

Especially considering you get a class like Warrior that had both Defy Pain (similar to SRD) and Adrenal Health (a regen skill based on adrenaline level) both in one traitline, the latter of which was proposed as a minor trait in the Warrior defense line. They still can take advantage of both damage negation and regen.

Backpack Regenerator should just become a minor trait, and AMR should come back either in the Alchemy or Tools line if it has no place in Inventions.

I would take AMR as a master or grandmaster in tools even. backpack rgn as a minor would be perfect, every kit running engineer has to take it.

I have this perfect healing bomb build, and the revamps to alchemy and inventions kill it. the loss of power shoes is major tears, AMR also.

ive found the times that i want to have SRD are times BPR doesnt do a whole lot. i want SRD when i zerg dive. when i zerg dive, SRD is my alarm clock that says “time to leave”, and im taking too much damage for BPR to be significant sustain. any other time, SRD is something my enemies can take advantage of by counting to 3, so BPR is the better choice, because those are more drawn out, small scale battles where the sustain from BPR really helps me out over a longer period of time.

the choice between invigorating swiftness and prot injection is more distressing to me

If they merged AMR with Automated Response that would be even better, actually. Automated Response as it is isn’t all that great unless it got a super buff. It needs its trigger HP increased from 33%+ and/or apply the duration reduction to conditions previously on the player before it triggers. As it is now if you’re at 33% HP and going down it doesn’t help if it’s layers of burning or bleeds applied before trigger that decimates your HP.

Agreed, SRD for zerg diving is a must. Wouldn’t be too bad to have the Backpack Regen shuffled around with Invigorating speed, so Invigorating Speed becomes a minor. Choices, choices. The traits really have to be tuned in terms of placement.

automated response + automated medical response would be amazing. a very worthy grandmaster, I mean look at warriors shout trait.
